Welcome Address

Dear Colleague:

We are delighted to extend our warmest invitation to the esteemed CF2024 (The International Symposium on Carbon Future), set to take place in the vibrant city of Ordos, China. With the theme of “Towards a sustainable future”, this symposium aims to bring together world’s leading scientists from academia and industry working at the challenging topics related to “carbon” to share the latest ideas for the mutual benefit of both basic research and industrial applications of carbon.

The symposium will cover wide range of topics relevant to cutting-edge research and new technologies of materials, catalysis, energy, and chemical engineering. Engaging invited talks and panel discussions will set the stage for insightful conversations, complemented by visits to industrial bases and related workshops.

We cordially invite you to join us at this symposium, offering a platform to showcase your latest research breakthroughs on “carbon”. Beyond the enriching scientific program, we eagerly anticipate sharing the cultural and natural richness of Ordos and extending our heartfelt Chinese hospitality to all attendees.

The CF2024 is co-organized by the Chinese Society of Particuology (CSP), the Ordos Laboratory, and the journal of Carbon Future. The organizers are eager to welcome you and your co-workers for a stimulating 3-days scientific event where you’ll be able to share your experience with renowned international experts in the area of carbon and start new collaborative networks. Join us in this critical effort to redefine the path to a sustainable and carbon-neutral future.

Sincerely,

Co-chairs:
